Today we got a chance to visit and snorkel a wreck in the Dry Tortugas. There are about 300 known wrecks in the park. This ship, the Avanti, ran aground and sank in 1907. It was about 300 feet long and is in 20 ft. of water, so it's easy to see snorkeling. It's made of iron and is the most complete wreck here. Much coral has grown on it, but you can still recognize it as a ship. Since we don't have a boat of our own, one of the park rangers took us to see it. Very nice dive.
Camping is still slow. Usually only one or two campers here at a time. Also, one of the two ferries is not running now, so the crowds are still light. Gives us more time to goof off!
